Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.7/100, a mean average of 77.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

This, supposedly, was the worst selling major release ever.
Not MY fault-- I bought about 25 copies-- wore about three out, gave away a dozen or more to anyone prepared to actually listen to it, buried multiple copies like a squirrel with acorns... If you stash one in the attic of each and every sibling or cousin, odds are you'll be able to recover at least one of them if you need to 20 years from now...
An interesting record from a great under rated guitar player. His best work however was yet to come.
